The auction is split into two groups:

• Young Talents: Bidding open from December 20–22
• Ridden Horses: Bidding open from December 20–23

Whether you’re a professional rider, ambitious amateur, or thoughtful supporter of someone in the horse world, the SLF X-Mas Auction offers a rare opportunity to find that perfect and original equestrian gift, wrapped in talent, delivered with pedigree and promise.

A Trusted Source for Showjumping Talent

Founded by Dutch Olympian Harrie Smolders (NED), breeder and rider Walter Lelie, and renowned dealer Niels Fabrie, the SLF Auction has become a go-to destination for acquiring top-caliber jumping horses, foals, and embryos. Every collection is carefully curated with one motto in mind:
“Only the Best of the Best for the SLF Auction.” No quality? No auction!

Their online platform, www.slf.auction, makes it easy for buyers from around the world to discover exceptional horses backed by expertise, transparency, and vision. With regular auctions throughout the year, SLF serves the sport at every level, from proven competitors to future stars.

A Collection Full of Possibilities

“This collection once again offers quality at all levels, from exciting young talents to experienced competition horses,” says co-founder Walter Lelie. “There’s also great diversity in type and rideability, making this edition especially appealing to the American market and ambitious amateurs.”

Lelie emphasizes the strength of the free-jumping group in particular: “We believe that the very best horses of their age group are included in this auction. All the well-known bloodlines are represented, and each horse was selected to match the right rider or program.”

Previous SLF auctions have already produced success stories like My Lady van de Krekel (ridden by Philip McGuane), Eye of a Tiger (ridden by Eveline Putters), Simba de Vink (Evan Collucho), and Day Dream (Anni Roslin).

The Gift of a Future Champion

SLF’s Christmas collection is not only a celebration of breeding and sport, it’s a chance to invest in a meaningful, memorable gift that could shape the future of a rider’s career. Every horse is vet-checked, presented with full video, and carefully described, offering full confidence for online buyers.
